Synopsis

Based loosely on true events that inspired both the original The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and the Oscar-winning The Silence of the Lambs, the new film will center around a handful of friends who become isolated in the company of a deadly... See more clan of cannibals. The original film not only struck a deep chord with the youth culture of the time but revitalized the horror genre, influencing virtually all of the successful horror franchises that followed it, from New Line’s own Nightmare on Elm Street series to The Blair Witch Project.
